Getting to Know the Neighbourhood
Large blocks, heritage gardens and a setting along the Yarra give this part of Melbourne's inner east a distinct gardening character. We've spent years learning the soil conditions, prevalent hedge species and the standards residents expect.
Our crews are regularly out near Studley Park, the Junction shopping strip, High Street, Cotham Road and the scenic Yarra Boulevard. Clients often comment on our attention to detail when working on hedges that frame historic homes, or screening hedges that provide privacy along busy thoroughfares.
A large share of the work here involves Federation and Victorian‑era homes with long‑established Buxus and Photinia hedges planted decades ago, which need careful, health‑first reshaping rather than a hard cut‑back. Newer builds closer to the shopping and apartment strips tend to favour fast‑growing Lilly Pilly and Pittosporum screens, which need more frequent shaping to stay tidy.
Several streets sit within a heritage overlay area under Boroondara City Council. If your property falls within one of these overlays, some vegetation works can require notification or a permit – we're happy to talk through what applies to your address before any work begins.

Why Ongoing Hedge Care Matters
Regular maintenance isn't just about looks – it stops hedges becoming too wide, too tall, or unhealthy. A well‑trimmed hedge also creates a natural barrier, reduces noise and adds real curb appeal to any property.
We often come across hedges that have been neglected and become overgrown, blocking views or encroaching on paths. Our reduction and shaping work restores them to a manageable, attractive size.
Signs a Hedge Needs Attention
- Bare, brown or thinning patches inside the hedge line
- Significant new growth extending past its shaped edge
- Leaning, sagging or uneven growth on one side
- Encroachment onto footpaths, driveways or neighbouring properties
Hedge Varieties We Manage
We have extensive experience with the hedge types commonly planted in gardens and commercial landscapes around here. Our approach varies for each:
- Lilly Pilly – for dense, glossy privacy screens
- Pittosporum – ideal for windbreak and boundary hedges
- Viburnum – fast‑growing screening with seasonal flowers
- Buxus / Box – classic formal hedging for parterres and edges
- Photinia – striking red‑tipped hedges for modern gardens
- Conifer & Cypress – tall, narrow hedges for tight spaces
- Murraya & Laurel – versatile, quick‑growing choices
Our Process
- Send us photos or book a site inspection – we'll assess the hedge's species, height, length and condition.
- We provide a transparent quote with no hidden fees.
- On the day, we trim, prune or shape with precision, using appropriate tools for each plant type.
- We clean up thoroughly – all clippings are collected, and we can remove green waste for an additional fee.
- We do a final walk‑through with you to ensure you're completely satisfied.

FAQs
Frequently Asked Questions
How often should hedges be trimmed?
Most hedges benefit from 2–4 trims per year. Fast‑growing species like Lilly Pilly may need more frequent attention, while slower varieties like Buxus can be done less often.
Do you offer hedge pruning as well as trimming?
Absolutely. We specialise in selective pruning that improves the hedge's health and structure, not just a surface trim.
Can you handle a very overgrown hedge?
Yes – we have the expertise to safely reduce overgrown hedges by up to 50% while maintaining their natural shape and long‑term viability.
What happens to the clippings after the job?
We always clean up thoroughly. Green waste removal can be arranged as an add‑on, or we can leave the clippings for your compost if you prefer.
Do you work on commercial and strata properties?
Definitely. We provide regular maintenance for office buildings, retail centres, apartment blocks and body corporate sites in the area.
Which hedge species do you work with?
We work with all common species: Lilly Pilly, Pittosporum, Viburnum, Buxus, Photinia, Conifers, Murraya, Laurel and more.
Can I get a quote without a site visit?
Yes – photos showing the hedge's height, length and overall condition are usually enough for an accurate estimate.
When is the best time to prune?
For most species, late winter to early spring is ideal for hard pruning, while light shaping can be done in autumn. We'll advise on timing during the quote.
Do I need council approval to trim a hedge in a heritage overlay area?
Routine trimming and shaping generally doesn't require council approval. However, some heritage overlay streets have restrictions on removing or significantly altering established vegetation. We can help you check whether your address is affected before we start work.
How much does hedge trimming cost in Kew?
Most residential trims start from around $15–$30 per linear metre, while overgrown reductions typically run $35–$70 per linear metre depending on height, thickness and access. See our pricing guide above for a full breakdown, or send photos for an exact quote.
